The three-story restaurant is beautifully decorated. Judging from the carriages and horses stopping outside, the diners here are all rich and expensive.
The young man in a short red shirt with narrow sleeves just frowned slightly and sat in the corner of the restaurant slowly drinking tea.
The girl next to her, dressed in light purple casual clothes, with a fair face and a plum-shaped flower pendant on her forehead, looked at the interior of the restaurant with a curious and timid expression.
The hall is bright and open, with some corners separated by screens. Looking from here, you can see that the space inside is spacious and the wine table is bright.
Several beautiful women in bright purple dresses served tea in the room.
There are also women from the Western Region walking barefoot among them, their bodies covered with tulle, and they are full of charm.
Lu Linxuan understood a little bit. Just now he was wondering why there were so many diners having breakfast here so early in the morning. It turned out to be the reason why this place is so unique...
"Brother, I never thought that this windy and sandy land in the northwest would be as lively as the Central Plains."
Thinking of this, Lu Linxuan turned his head and looked at Li Xingyun, who was frowning next to him.
"ah?"
Li Xingyun finally regained his composure, raised his head and looked around at the lively scene, and forced a smile.
Two months ago, he returned to the Hidden Soldier Valley. Although the master relied on Du Gong's forbidden technique for support, the poison did not worsen and he also woke up.
But I always feel...
The thoughts in his mind were interrupted in an instant, and the light and shadow in his peripheral vision were suddenly blocked by a figure.
Li Xingyun narrowed his eyes and looked up, and saw the waiter in the restaurant, bowing politely.
"Sir, young lady, I have a distinguished guest who would like to greet you in the private room."
Li Xingyun looked along his hand and saw several masked figures in black light armor standing in front of a wing on the third floor.
It suddenly dawned on me that no wonder I always felt like I was being watched as soon as I entered Fengxiang City.
"Brother, we..."
Lu Linxuan was a little hesitant, but after seeing Li Xingyun stand up resolutely, he still followed the boy and walked upstairs.
…………
After going straight to the third floor, I could only feel the faint fragrance of orchid and musk, and the endless sound of strings of silk and bamboo.
Compared to the slightly noisy first floor, the third floor is much more elegant.
Li Xingyun's expression remained unchanged. Under the guidance of the servant, he stepped up the steps and walked straight towards the wing guarded by the masked figures.
Several masked figures all wore Miao swords on their waists. They were tall and looked at Li Xingyun curiously with some young-looking eyes before they stepped away.
"Please come in."
Li Xingyun nodded calmly, glanced at Lu Linxuan behind him, and stepped in first.
"Squeak..."
The small wooden door was closed, and a few sounds could still be heard while standing at the door, but they were immediately isolated from the door.
The screen used to block the line of sight had been removed at some point. The figure in Xuanyi, who was obviously taller than Li Xingyun, was just sitting at a small table, immersed in a small basin and playing with something carefully.
The Miao girl who had met several times snorted and turned her face away.
"You never looked for me again after we said goodbye to Xilin. I thought your master was fine, but now it seems like there's something wrong again?"
"God's Coming"
Li Jing raised her head and looked over when she noticed Li Xingyun and two people walking in. He wiped his hands with the towel on the side and stretched out his hand to signal the two of them to sit down.
Lu Linxuan pulled Li Xingyun, and the two sat down on a small stool nearby.
Glancing at Li Jing, Li Xingyun looked serious and said: "At that time, the Witch King of Miao Territory said there was a way to wake up the master, but for some reason, after the master woke up, his words and deeds were slightly different from before... I don’t know if it’s because he used forbidden techniques.”
Chi Meng, who was sitting quietly next to Li Jing, obviously knew about this. When he heard the word "Witch King", his ears stood up subconsciously, and he looked at Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan warily.
Li Jing pondered for a moment, then replied while fiddling with the small basin.
"Many of Miao's Gu techniques are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Now that he has been saved, what's the difference?"
Li Xingyun frowned a little, feeling that Li Jing was too ruthless. Although Uncle Yang had only taught him the Qinglian Sword Song, he shouldn't be so indifferent.
"That's it...Master used to like reading books the most, but after he woke up, he was often alone. He didn't read or anything, he just stayed alone and didn't get close to us..."
Seeing Li Xingyun's calm expression, Lu Linxuan naturally answered for him.
"And it seems... like a different person has changed. It's like... only the physical body has come back to life, but the person has not come back to life."
After hearing what she said, Chi Meng on the side also showed a thoughtful expression. Li Jing turned his head and looked at her, but she just shook her head.
"So, you are doubting that he has not been truly cured by Mr. Poison?"
Li Jing's hands were still playing with the basin, but her eyes were looking at Li Xingyun, and she asked calmly.
Lu Linxuan nodded: "That's why we asked Shangguan Yunque about your whereabouts... We came to Fengxiang to look for you."
At the end of the sentence, she looked at Chi Meng sincerely, and her pleading was self-evident.
Li Jing's eyes flashed and she asked: "The bad handsome man doesn't know that you two are on this trip?"
At this moment, Li Xingyun said in a deep voice: "He didn't know, he just thought we had returned to Jianlu."
After hearing his words, Li Jing was silent for a moment and took out the contents of the basin.
Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan took a closer look and saw that it was a very lifelike mask.
The shape is exquisite, and you can see that the craftsman who made it is very skilled.
"Since we were both master and disciple, I have no reason not to save people. However, the incident happened suddenly. I'm afraid I need to make some preparations before I can set off with you."
Hearing this, even Li Xingyun, who hated Li Jing in his heart, smiled on his face, stood up and bowed down.
"I would like to thank you on behalf of Master..."
Li Jing didn't wait for him to finish, but just waved his hand to interrupt him: "In this way, I have repaid the kindness that was bestowed on me back then, and I don't deserve it for anything. You guys can find a place to stay in the city first, and I'll take care of it." , will come to find you."
The excitement in Lu Linxuan's eyes was not concealed, and he just looked at Li Jing gratefully.
Li Jing put on the mask, and a face that was completely different from the original one appeared.
The face of an ordinary young man no longer had the handsomeness and calmness of the previous face. It's that kind of ordinary person's appearance that may make your eyes shine at first glance, but you can't remember it afterwards.
Only his still tall and straight figure and broad shoulders show his inherent gentle temperament.
Seeing the surprised expressions of Li Xingyun and Li Xingyun, Li Jing, who had changed his face, pointed at his own appearance.
"When I meet you from now on, I will show you this face to distinguish you and me... You go find a place to stay and wait. I want to go back and make preparations first."
Li Xingyun glanced at Li Jing's face, a complicated expression flashed across his face, turned around and strode away.
Lu Linxuan saluted with the broken sword, then turned to follow.
"I don't even recognize this face."
Chi Meng curiously poked Li Jing's face with his finger and made a sound of surprise.
Li Jing smiled and looked at the familiar face on the water.
Long time no see.
